Travel Vaccinations

Its the holiday season and we would like to remind you that if you may need vaccinations when travelling abroad please come to the surgery and complete a travel form for the nurses to assess and then book a appointment for you to receive vaccinations if necessary.  Please do this 8 week in advance of travel.

New Telephone System

We have now been granted a new telephone system which will have a 'call waiting system' in place, record telephone conversations and monitor amount of calls answered by reception.  Most complaints we receive from our patients are regarding the telephone lines and we are now hoping that this will resolve the issue.  Work should commence within the next month or so.  More details to follow.

Patients Participation Group

We held a meeting with the PPG in May and minutes of these meetings are available upon request.  Ask at reception.

A reminder also that the PPG have a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PilgrimsWaySurgeryPPG/

Here you will find regular updates regarding our surgery and health information.
